Firefox bookmarks
While trying to solve another problem, I discovered another cool feature of Firefox.
If you open the properties of a bookmark you'll see a keyword field. This allows you to assign keywords to often used bookmarks. For example, I could assign the keyword 43 to my bookmark for http://43things.com/people/view/markveerman. Then, all I have to do is type 43 in the browser address bar and voila.
Where it gets cooler is that I can use variable substitution in the bookmark url. So, for the 43 things bookmark above, I could change the location of my bookmark to http://43things.com/people/view/%s. Now, when I want to access that bookmark, I just type 43 markveerman, or 43 aharbick or any other person on 43 things that I might want quick access to.
I'm not sure how much I'll *really* use this, but can think of quite a few uses where it might helpful.
